Differential Equations

Question:

The integrating factor of the differential equation (dy/dx) + 2y = sinx is-

Options:

e4x

e5x

-e4x

e2x

Correct Answer:

e2x

Explanation:

The given differential equation is 

(dy/dx) + 2y = sinx

This equation is of the form dy/dx +py =Q    (where p= 2 and Q = sin x)

Now, I.F. = e∫pdx

so, I.F. = e∫2dx

hence I.F. = e2x
